第十七章、水府八君(2 / 2)

只睡了约莫一个时辰,忽见房门“支呀”一声自行开启,进来一位灰衫老者,那老者须发皆白、满脸皱纹、身躯佝偻、步态龙钟,也不知活了多少岁数,他走进房中,见了徐无病便躬身拜倒,道:“这位便是徐公子么?”无病连忙坐起回礼,道:“晚辈徐无病,敢问这位老丈是?……”白发老者道:“徐公子,小老儿有一事相求,望公子务必答允啊!”无病道:“老丈但请吩咐,无病力所能及,一定竭尽驽钝!”老者道:“不瞒公子,小老儿乃此间的土地,只因当日无意冒犯了天蓬,如今那天蓬元帅的凡身到此,老儿吃饭的所在,明日恐要遭殃啊!”无病心中疑惑,问道:“原来您是苏州府的土地公公,晚辈失敬!只不过您说的天蓬是哪一位?晚辈又能帮上些什么?……”老者摆手道:“徐公子,先别问这么多,你们明日往北赶路,势要经过苏州城隍庙,到了那里,请公子务须约束你那位兄弟,让他无论如何不可进入庙门,小老儿拜托公子了,公子切切不可忘!”说罢,老者长揖拜倒,无病急忙伸手去扶,却扶了一个空,那老者已倏然不见。无病一跃而起,这时才惊觉自己只是做了一个梦而已。</p>

无病跃起醒来,才发觉自己睡了已足足有大半日时辰,现下已是深夜,室内一片黢黑。无病点亮油灯,一看床上不由大吃一惊,原来躺着的朱无能早已不知去向,此时床上却是空空如也。</p>

无病忙跑出屋外,去向店小二打听。小二却接连摇头只道不知,倒是一位住店的老者说是适才出来起夜,见一位身形胖大之人,提了一把锄头,怒气冲冲地往西面跑去了。</p>

无病出得客栈,快步往西,接连走过了三条长街,忽见前方出现一个小湖,湖边郁郁葱葱,尽是些桃树、梅树,穿过小树林,又是一片稀稀疏疏的竹林。无病听得竹林中隐隐传出兵刃相交之声,急忙跑上前去,却见朱无能手持一杆铁锄,正与一群长相奇异之人斗在一起。</p>

朱无能手挥铁锄,使的正是“项王三式”中的“力拔山兮”,但见他招式散乱,铁锄只知道乱挥乱打,全无前日在捉妖大会上所施展的凌厉,反倒是脚步踉跄,到处跌跌撞撞,浑如一个醉汉。与他相斗的共有八人,他们大约是忌惮朱无能内力了得,都是各自施展轻身功夫,忽高忽低、上纵下跳与朱无能周旋。忽有一人跳出战圈之外,此人头小身大,身高不满四尺,后背高高隆起,看着像是一个驼背。只见他微捻髭须,摇头晃脑地说道:</p>

“我说天蓬啊!你已中了我‘九幽囚魂汤’之毒,还要苦苦支撑,再斗下去非但不能取胜,于你真元反倒有损,你这般倔强又有何益?你只需放下锄头,跟我们去见一下三公主,我们这便放下兵器,大家化敌为友,你看如何?”</p>

那朱无能却只当没有听见,兀自打斗不休。那八人中有一人身材奇瘦,脑袋奇尖,他一边打一边喊道:“归老大,我看不把天蓬打趴下他是不会听话的。”</p>

归老大却摇首说道:“非也非也!想我‘水府八君’何等英雄,今日却要八人殴他一人,实非英雄之所为也,此事传出去岂非让天下人所笑,这是一不妥;此前三公主只是叮嘱我等要见上天蓬一面,却并未让我等与之兵刃相加,若我等不慎伤了天蓬,恐怕会大大有损三公主雅意,这是二不妥;今日这天蓬心智未开,不过是个俗体凡胎,似我等这般穷追猛打实乃大为不当,这是三不妥,有此三不妥,我等今日实不该与天蓬纠缠也!”</p>

那身材奇瘦、脑袋奇尖的人却怪叫道:“归老大,别管什么妥与不妥啦!今天我们不把他打趴下,他就不会听我们的话,他不听我们的话,我们怎么带回他?不把他带回去,我们又怎么跟三公主交代?”</p>

这时有一服饰艳丽、身上背有一个巨大包裹的中年女子,也跳出圈外,她手中兵刃乃是一条细长软银鞭,她将鞭子轻轻一甩,荡开了瘦尖男子的短刀,说道:“夏老二,三公主只是吩咐我们将天蓬带去,可没让我们伤了他,你这般连施狠招,莫不是公报私仇吧!”</p>

夏老二怒道:“何五娘,你别血口喷人!我和这头瘟猪会有什么仇?”</p>

何五娘冷笑道:“还不是那年你被他欺负了,现在趁机想报复?”</p>

夏老二欲待大声辩解,这时归老大摆了摆手,做了个禁声的手势,道:“罢了罢了,今日之事,势难成矣!我等都散了吧!”</p>

何五娘疑惑道:“大哥,出了什么事吗?”</p>

归老大一边走一边摇头叹道:“有生人来此,我等纵有盛意款款,亦只得权且作罢,哎!……”言毕,那矮身驼背的归老大,身影便倏然不见,未几其他七人也都跟着消失,竹林中霎时便一片阒寂,恍如这八人从未在这里出现过。</p>

徐无病快步走到朱无能身前,却见无能丢了铁锄,蹲着身子,嘴里哼哼唧唧的不住,似在轻声抽噎,又似在低语念叨着:“三公主、三公主啊……”</p>

无病叫道:“二弟,深夜不寐,跑到这里来作甚?”说罢正欲上前将朱无能扶起,突觉一双大手从背后伸来,紧紧地箍住了自己的双肩。无病急忙回头,不禁大惊道:“怎地是你?!”</p>
